 a main pixel circuit connected to the main light emitting part, and overlapping at least a portion of the main light emitting part; 
 a first sub-pixel circuit, without overlapping the first sub-light emitting part, connected to the first sub-light emitting part, and spaced apart from the first sub-light emitting part in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction extend along a same plane; 
 a main data line extending in the first direction, and connected to the main pixel circuit; 
 a first sub-data line extending in the first direction, and connected to the first sub-pixel circuit; and 
 a first bridge line connecting the main data line to the first sub-data line. 
 
     
     
       2. The display device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first bridge line includes:
 a first vertical bridge line connected to the main data line, and extending in the first direction; and 
 a first horizontal bridge line connecting the first vertical bridge line to the first sub-data line, and extending in the second direction. 
 
 
     
     
       3. The display device of  claim 2 ,
 wherein a portion of the first vertical bridge line overlaps the main pixel circuit. 
 
     
     
       4. The display device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a portion of the main data line overlaps the main pixel circuit, and 
 wherein a portion of the first sub-data line overlaps the first sub-pixel circuit. 
 
     
     
       5. The display device of  claim 4 ,
 wherein a first distance from the main light emitting part to the main data line is smaller than a second distance from the first sub-light emitting part to the first sub-data line. 
 
     
     
       6. The display device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a same data voltage is applied to the main data line and the first sub-data line. 
 
     
     
       7. The display device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second sub-light emitting part spaced apart from the first sub-light emitting part in the first direction; 
 a second sub-pixel circuit, without overlapping the second sub-light emitting part, connected to the second sub-light emitting part, and spaced apart from the second sub-light emitting part in the second direction; 
 a second sub-data line extending in the first direction, and connected to the second sub-pixel circuit; and 
 a second bridge line connecting the first sub-data line to the second sub-data line. 
 
     
     
       8. The display device of  claim 7 ,
 wherein the second bridge line extends in the second direction, and is connected to each of the first sub-data line and the second sub-data line. 
 
     
     
       9. The display device of  claim 7 ,
 wherein a same data voltage is applied to the main data line, the first sub-data line, and the second sub-data line. 
 
     
     
       10. The display device of  claim 7 ,
 wherein a second distance from the first sub-light emitting part to the first sub-data line is smaller than a third distance from the second sub-light emitting part to the second sub-data line. 
 
     
     
       11. The display device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a third sub-pixel circuit overlapping at least a portion of the first sub-light emitting part; 
 a third sub-light emitting part, without overlapping the third sub-pixel circuit, connected to the third sub-pixel circuit, and spaced apart from the first sub-light emitting part in a third direction that is opposite to the second direction; and 
 a third sub-data line extending in the first direction, and connected to the third sub-pixel circuit. 
 
     
     
       12. The display device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the third sub-data line is spaced apart from the main data line in the first direction. 
 
     
     
       13. The display device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein a first data voltage is applied to the first sub-data line, and 
 wherein a second data voltage that is different from the first data voltage is applied to the third sub-data line. 
 
     
     
       14. The display device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein a portion of the third sub-data line overlaps the third sub-pixel circuit. 
 
     
     
       15. A display device comprising:
 a first sub-light emitting part; 
 a second sub-light emitting part spaced apart from the first sub-light emitting part in a first direction;
